This is no last meal! Inspired by Leonardo da Vincis representation of The Last Supper, Bella Maniera is a contemporary and playful table linen collection.
Seat 13 people around the table and there will be no talk of bad luck. Like two illusionists, Mr.&Mr. invite imaginary guests to your table, freely inspired by the representation of the final meal of Christ and His disciples in Leonardo da Vincis famous painting. Its a collection of household textiles which includes thirteen placemats and three runners digitally printed on fabric.Whether composite or serial, these placemats perfectly represent the divine adage of this famous meal, with elegance and sobriety. Jesus and His disciples, represented by images of outstretched hands leaning on the elbows at the dining table, are displayed as a symbol or a body language giving them their own unique character. Mr.&Mr., using radical aesthetics, divert from the tradition of a ceremonial meal in favour of a more friendly atmosphere with a spirit of togetherness and unity.By borrowing a collective symbolic vocabulary and diverting from the religious context, the two designers propose to create among friends or family, occasionally or on a daily basis, a playful convivial and contemporary dining table.
